effective cable or rope grip and which will,

at the same time be strong and durable under constant severe usage.

In the accompanying drawing illustrating present invention and forming apart of this specification,

Figure l is a top plan view of my improved cable hitch, I

Fig. 2 is a side elevation, II I Fig. 3 is a central longitudinalsection, Fig. 4% is a cross section, and, I Fig. 5 is a diagram ofacable coiled as it is in connected relation around my improved grip. I

The cable grip proposed by my present invention has an oval shaped body10 which may be either solid or in the form of a ring as shown so thatits connection with other or adjacent parts may be accomplished either Iby an external projection 11 01 the body pivotally'connected as at 12 tosuch adjacent the body 10 has a transverse groove 19 adjacent'to one endthe ends or which transverse groove open into the peripheral groove toSpecificationbf Letters Patent.

the full depth of the latter only so as .to thus recelve the cable end18 in such manner that it is tightly engaged and frictionally held bythose portions of the cable loop 16 at the opposite ends of thetransverse groove 19.

It is thus obvious that my improved con- I struction provides for adouble grip on the free end of the cable by portions of the cable loopin the peripheral groove against which pressure is exerted in use inrelatively opposite directions so that a tight ettective hold ing willbe promoted and brought about.

It is also obvious that I do this by an integral one-piece constructionwhich will be strong and durable in the constant severe use to whicharticles of this character are subjected, as Well as one whose functionsand effectiveness will not be curtailed in any way by rust or otherdirect or indirect causes of weather.

I claim 2 1. A cable hitch comprising an integral one piece body havinga single peripheral and continuous groove and also having a transversesurface groove thereacross whose ends communicate with spaced portionsof the peripheral groove, whereby the free end of a cable traversing thetransverse groove will be gripped at opposite ends of the said groove bythe coil 01": a cable disposed completely around'in the peripheralgroove.

2.- A cable hitch having its body of ring shape and oval form andprovided with a single peripheral groove continuously therearound toreceive the coil of a cable and with a transverse groove adjacent .toone end to receive the terminal portion of the cable coil, the ends ofsaid transverse groove communicating at spaced points with theperipheral groove whereby the opposite end of said terminal portion ofthe cable in the trans verse groove will be gripped by. the coil in theperipheral groove.

'In' testimony whereof I have afiiXed my signature.
